Installing beautifulsoup on Mac OS X
Thanks so much, Doitsu!

BTW, it took me a couple of whacks to install beautifulsoup on my Mac. In case anyone else has the same problem, here's how I did it:
  1. Open Terminal
  2. Log in to an admin account in Terminal (if you're not already in one — but you shouldn't use an admin account for everyday work, right?):
    Code:
    login [admin username]
  3. Enter this command:
    Code:
    sudo easy_install beautifulsoup4
  4. Enter your password, sit back and relax.

Once the installation was done, the plugin worked beautifully.

One nice side benefit: it gives me a list of all of the external URLs used in the ebook — which is helpful for making sure all of them are correct. I've been having to search through one by one, which is a pain. (For example, you don't want any Amazon links in a file you're going to load to Apple!)
